882 Diesel: Finally replaced the water pump/alt belt
I put this off as long as I possibly could. The other day I noticed the temp gauge creeping up off its normal perch and when I glanced into the engine bay I saw that the water pump / alternator belt was not even moving. It was so stretched out, it wouldn't even turn the pulleys anymore.
It really wasn't that big of a job to replace the belt itself, but you do have to move the engine forward a few inches. I pulled out the 4 engine mounts (tops only) and used a floor jack/block of wood to raise the little Kubota from below and skooch it forward enough to get the driveshaft out. The new fan and belt went on easily, and had I stopped there.... Nope, I just had to continue on and rebuild the steering gear box. Because things are so crowded in the dash area, it was a bit of a bear to get the steering mechanism out. In this case, the steering box and rod dropped out, leaving the hollow tube behind. Up inside the dash area, this tube shares a mounting plate with the Cessna hydraulic unit and is secured by a U-bolt. The nuts on this thing are basically impossible to reach. I would not suggest even trying to remove the tube until you are ready for a total tear-down and resto. The box rebuild went 1-2-3, and I was able to save $12 by making my own steering gasket out of some sound deadening poly-foam. Inside, the box looked really good, and the only thing I did was clean it out and do a quick re-grind and file job on the cam. I put a quick paint job on the radiator and shroud, and found that an old tri-spring off my 147's PTO made a perfect radiator tool. Got the fins all nice and straightened up. TLC for the radiator is everything in these diesels. Not only because they get plugged up, but the replacement cost is out of this world. Did a quick wash job and got everything back together. However, when I fired it up I noticed a tapping noise not previously there. I had overtightened the front rag joint bolts, pulling the ends too close to the steering tube. I noticed that a PO must have done the same, because the tube had old rusty damage in this area. Loosened the bolts and the problem went away (see blue circle). Enough blabbing, here's the pics:

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
